"Thousands Rally in Tel Aviv, Demanding Netanyahu's Resignation Amid War and Political Turmoil"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects calls for an early election as thousands protest in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, demanding his resignation following the devastating war on Gaza. Netanyahu's popularity has plummeted since the conflict, with calls for new polls mounting. The war, which began with a rare attack by Hamas, has led to widespread protests and demands for the release of captives held by the Palestinian group. Despite international efforts to broker a ceasefire and captive release, Netanyahu has rejected Hamas's demands and calls for a pathway to Palestinian statehood, while also facing pressure from within his own party for early elections.
